Memorial Day, Ebay and Rhubarb Pie

Happy Memorial Day!!  Quiet weekend on the Street With No Name.  We have packed the car for a trip to Madison and Odana Antiques this week.  We have had strong sales and need to restock and freshen the booth.  Treasures include a 1900s point of purchase display stand from the American Hoe Company and a terrific inlaid table with the date 1912 in the intricate design.

Ebay is calling my name--and I have listed a few things including vintage medicine bottles and an English needlepoint and inlaid slipper stool.  Needlework seems to be hot hot hot right now on ebay--and I still have several pieces to list.  In the shops--needlework can sit for months without moving.

Since it is almost 100 degrees today--what a great day to make oven baked bbq ribs and Dear Husbola's favorite rhubarb pie.  After all--the kitchen is already hot--what is a little hotter?
I love the Rhubarb Custard Pie Recipe from my Grandmother's vintage Betty Crocker Cookbook.  Pillsbury dough sure makes it easy.

Rhubarb Custard Pie- Circa 1950               400 degrees 45 minutes

Do not prebake lower crust.  Everything goes raw into the hot oven

Filling--4 cups raw sliced rhubarb
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup flour
dash salt
1/2 teas cinnamon (says nutmeg but we prefer cinnamon)
3 beaten eggs

Top with crust.  Egg white wash and sprinkle sugar.  Make a few slits.
YUMMY YUMMY YUMMY.

Enjoy your holiday.
